Note 5 - 6M Operation

We will operate on one frequency for both CW and Phone operation.

The 6M rig may be operating in beacon mode sending:
"CQ  CQ   CQ  de VK9ML  VK9ML  K"
Call during the breaks to alert the operator.

The 6M operator will offset his CW operating frequency so that you will hear our beat note whilst monitoring 50.145.0 in USB mode, as most will.  Don't forget when changing to CW mode yourself to apply the correct offset.

Now you can safely leave your rig parked on the one frequency whilst keeping an ear out for us... whether we come up on USB or CW.  Cool !

 Please, do not spot us on 110. 

If for some reason we QSY to 110 to muster up some activity we will QSY back to 50.145 and operate there.  Spotting us on 110 only adds confusion!

 

Note 6 - RTTY Operation

Three x 1 hour RTTY slots every day, with bands chosen depending on propagation.  This will give a total of 30 hours RTTY ops from VK9ML.
All areas will be covered by sliding the start times for activity progressively by one hour each day.

USA and South America:
If on 15M, for a daily 1 hour slot sliding between 0000 - 0300
If on 20M, for a daily 1 hour slot sliding between 0500 - 0800

Europe:
On 15M, for a daily 1 hour slot sliding between 1200 - 1500.

Asia/JA/Oceania:
On 15M, for a daily 1 hour slot beginning 2200
